Stories about those days.

The stories that people have about Jamie’s photos are a source of amazement. Β Some are of the “that’s me and we were doing this” type of stories from Jamie’s friends. Some are the “I never met Jamie but this was taken on my birthday and it means a lot to me. And some are just stunningly moving one of a kind stories.

    That day in Colombia a really weird guy was being born. It’s amazing to see this and think that perhaps when Jamie was taking this photo, I just had a couple hours of life.

    This day I turn 1. I am 39 years old now. I love this photo! It shows raw emotion of a happy and good looking guy. I just wonder who this man is… and wonder how good the food at Mark Dine.

    I was born at 00h07 of this day, in a country an ocean across from New York. It’s weird to see how much and yet so little as changed in the world.

    I was on my way to the outside world at this stage… And now, I feel I am still on my way… Discovering these photographs has become part of my journey… and I am so grateful for Jamie’s commitment to the practice of chronicling existence. Wonderful.

    This is the day of my earliest memory. It was my third birthday and I remember having a birthday party and being so excited that Jon Unander (R.I.P.) was there–because he was FOUR and I thought that was so cool.

    I wasn’t born on that day via C section in Zimbabwe, Africa. I live in England now and saw a video about this on Mental Floss’ FB page. I feel so connected to Jamie after hearing his story. The fact that my birthday is a pic of a stomach is all the more serendipitous and freaky! Thanks for keeping him alive Hugh xxx

    I was born on this day. Jamie was such an artist and I feel like his art isn’t appreciate enough. I really like his photos.

    I was born on this very day, but just by looking at this picture I can tell that it’s daytime so I wasn’t born just yet. Twenty years later and I’m just starting to begin my own unique journey.There’s an indescribable feeling that I get when looking at these images, it’s like looking directly into the past(obviously), but a special look at what life was like and every other detail an image could ever portray. Jamie Livingston has inspired me to do something similar and I hope he has inspired many others. Rest in glory.

    P.S. Pentru iubita mea, sper că vezi asta. Te iubesc foarte mult.

    I was looking for November 14 but was disappointed at first because there is not a picture from that date and then I realized I was born in Nepal where it was already Nov 14 the day when it was Nov 13 in US. I smiled.
